Fuel Network Overview, Docs, and Team

Fuel is an operating system purpose built for Ethereum Rollups. Fuel allows rollups to solve for PSI (parallelization, state minimized execution, interoperability) without making any sacrifices.

What is a Rollup Operating System?

Rollup Operating System is the software that is used to launch and run rollups. There are several Rollup Operating Systems in the Ethereum space eg. OP Stack, Arbitrum, Polygon, etc.

In the world of rollups, Ethereum acts like the hardware on which everything is built. The Rollup Operating System operates on top of this hardware thereby solving for scalability.

Any blockchain operating system would typically consist of a virtual machine, the language used to program the blockchain and the toolchain used to launch and publish applications.

Why was Fuel created?

Ethereum Rollups have become the infrastructure of choice for chain builders. Rollups inherit Ethereum’s security and thereby allow builders to focus on optimizing execution and performance. Current architectures which use general-purpose computing systems or monolithic L1 architectures are unable to cope with this complex environment.

To enable a rollup-centric future, a purpose built architecture is required, something specifically geared towards the needs of Ethereum rollups. This architecture will have to combine the features of all other L1s, namely Bitcoin’s UTXO model, Solana’s parallelization, Ethereum’s security, Move’s Asset-Oriented design, and Cosmos’s interoperability and VM customization.

Fuel is designed to incorporate all of these features along with state minimised execution thus creating the ultimate operating system for Ethereum rollups. Fuel also has native account abstraction and supports transaction signing with wallets from any network.

Fuel aims to bring new capabilities into the Ethereum ecosystem without making compromises on security or decentralization.
